Discussion on: How I deal with my 9-5 when I still learning Programming?

I taught myself to code by writing a personal project (it was a poker app) while I was a project manager. I bought a small laptop and carried it everywhere, writing my app for 40 minutes on the bus to and from work, and for 30 minutes on my lunch break. Within a year I'd learnt python, java and OOP. I decided to go to Uni to study software engineering, but actually I think I'd have been able to figure the rest out as a (very) junior dev. I'm now a full time back end web dev, so happy days. Anyone can do it if they get the bug!!
